>"Which emacs?" is the source of huge flames (firestorms ?) on the
macosx-emacs lists, of course. Aquaemacs is good at providing a natural
Mac feel & compatibility; if you mainly do a variety of tasks on Mac OS
X I find it helps your interactions go smoothly. And recent versions
have been better at stability. The maintainers are very responsive,
almost as good as the Mac R team ;-).
OTOH if you do emacs on different platforms a lot, then you may find
Aquaemacs disconcerting. (I'm more in the former camp these days, but
sympathize with both.)
